Rolex Explorer II 216570 Polar Dial

A modern update to the long enduring 16570, the Explorer II 216570 is quite a different piece aesthetically to its forebears. Now featuring a 42mm steel case with maxi dial, it's a proper tool watch with GMT capability for those that perhaps find the 40/41mm range a touch small for their tastes. The Explorer II also one of the more under-the-radar sports pieces, and always has been, which definitely has its own appeal for those wanting to enjoy their watch without the attention some of the other more recent models attract.

Featuring a 42mm Oystersteel case topped with a stunning sunburst 24-hour fixed bezel, it houses a white maxi-dial with orange second timezone hand, and is powered by the calibre 3187.

This particular piece was first sold in 2015 and presents in TZ Good condition. The case presents in very nice condition with some hairlines present on the polished surfaces and a few small rub marks/scratches on the bezel. Grading is considered good rather than excellent on our scale due to the presence of a small ding on the upper bevel of the case between 18 and 20, and a few small pindents and dings around the case and underside of the lugs. Please see images for full condition details.

Bracelet is excellent, with only a few very small marks. Contains 10 links, and will fit roughly a 7.5in wrist.

Was serviced in March 2022 and running at COSC specs.
